WIP Wednesday – Stormcast Eternals

  After doing some further research on USMC uniforms and talking to John, who’s also working on some Bolt Action USMC models right now, I realized that it would be more accurate (and also quicker) to do the flat colors for the jackets on the Marines rather than trying to do camo on the entire… Read More WIP Wednesday – Stormcast Eternals

WIP Wednesday – Chindits, Bushido and Infinity

Hello all! It has been a while since my last WIP Wednesday and I have been working on a few projects. Progress on the Bolt Action Chindits continues, I built a Bushido Savage Wave starter set and started an Infinity terrain commission.

Sarissa Precision Far East buildings

  By early September I will have a fully painted Bolt Action British Chindit army. But what good is having a fully painted army if you do not have terrain to go along with it? Enter the “Far East” range by Sarissa Precision. Excited to have a table that thematically matched my army, I picked… Read More Sarissa Precision Far East buildings

WIP Wednesday: Grey Knights

My very first WIP Wednesday! I have been spending what free time I have over the last several weeks on my first Warhammer 40,000 army, the Grey Knights So why the Grey Knights? The first is economical. My job can be a bit demanding of my time and energy so I wanted to sink my… Read More WIP Wednesday: Grey Knights

Hobby goals 2016 – John

Seeing as I am sadly no longer a Chicago resident my Hobby calendar isn’t quite as focused on Adepticon like Andrew and Ben. I tend to skip around a bit rather than focusing on single projects from start to finish like I should, so quite a few of my goals are just rounding out things… Read More Hobby goals 2016 – John

Review – Sarissa Precision Landing Craft

As part of my planned display board for the United States Marine Corps army that I’ve been working on for Bolt Action, I purchased several landing craft from Sarissa Precision.  I purchased two of their Higgins landing craft (designed for personnel) and one of the LCM-3 landing craft (Landing Craft Mechanized, for hauling vehicles around).

WIP Wed….Thursday – USMC

We’re gonna have WIP Wednesday posts going up weekly now. Unfortunately this one got delayed due to thunderstorms in the Chicago area knocking my power out. Gotta love Murphy’s Law. My hobby focus continues to be on my United States Marines for Warlord Games’ Bolt Action.  As I’ve mentioned before, I’m preparing an army for… Read More WIP Wed….Thursday – USMC

Breaking news from Warlord HQ - the next Armies of book has been confirmed! "Armies of the Allies & Axis: Third Edition" is the next book slotted for Q1 2027 following "Armies of France". First squad of Soviet Bloc infantry ready for basing! The objective was to complete the unit as quickly as possible using Contrast / Speed Paint / Xpress and I am thrilled with the results. The next three Bolt Action releases. Any guesses for Q1 2027? Armies of the Allies? China? A massive Partisan book??
